BUAP

Most of you are most likely wondering what "BUAP" means. Well, I will explain it to you. BUAP is the name of one of the futbol organizations here. It is like a soccer club in the states, but a lot cheaper. It is a very good orginization though, they have trained boys who are now professionals. We heard about this from one of our neighbors. So we talked to my friend Daniel and his family and decided that we would go to one of the practices and check it out. So we did, and we liked it a lot. We have since joined the club and are excited to see what we can learn. It is interesting that you do not have to try out to be on the team. Everyone who pays to be on the team can play. I think that is because everyone who is on the team is very serious about soccer, so anyone who is not that serious will not come.

I recently got a cold, which is kinda funny because you would not think that I could get a cold here. Because it is hot, maybe instead I should get a hot. But wait, there is no such thing as a hot, but I think that there should be such a thing as a hot. Well anyway, I am feeling better now and am almost to normal; as close to normal as I can get.

I know that I say this all the time, but I would like you all to comtinue to pray. For me, my family, and all the missionaries here. I say this every time I do a blog, but that is because there is a good reason for it. Prayer is the thing that gets us by. Without prayer and talking to our Heavenly Father, we can do nothing. We are nothing without God, so why would we not talk to Him and pray for others. It is very important that we pray, for others and ourselves. We need to ask God to help us everyday to make it through, because we can not do it on our own. So please continue to pray, and thank you for your support.

Cool about the soccer - I'm dying to find somewhere to play again in Philly. Amen about prayer too.

I'm impressed that you guys joined over at BUAP Tyler! You must be feeling fairly comfortable with the Spanish. I hope you guys have a great time, and I know you'll be a good testimony. Do you play games with other clubs, championships and all that?

Hi Tyler,

I'm not sure if you will remember me. I'm Mrs. Maser- Bethany's mom from cvhomeschoolers co-op. Bethany actually encouraged me to read your blog. I wanted you and your mom and dad to know that you ARE in our thoughts and prayers. Our family really got into soccer especially when our son was in high school at Lancaster Christian School. He was a decent player and had started when he was 8 in a neighborhood league. He loved it and we really learned to love watching the games and learned a lot more about it. Soccer really doesn't get the respect it deserves in the U. S. I'm impressed at how well you seem to be adapting and thriving over there. God surely is watching over you and helping you to grow and he will continute to do that!
God bless!
Mrs. Maser
